Exhaust manifold bolts

Several weeks ago I took my manifolds off to paint and replace the gasket. The bolts that were used to hold the manifolds on were stainless. I always heard that was a no-no for exhaust manifolds due to the potential for galling. Anyways I went out and got the correct bolts to go on. Do I need to put anti-seize on the bolts during installation?

It wouldn't hurt to put some anti-sieze on them.

RE: Exhaust manifold bolts

I just put the headers back on my HiPo. Left them natural after blasting rust off. Got new bolt set, came with set of bright steel keepers to bend over the bolt after torquing. This OK for Concourse resto?
